According to Dan Tri Newspaper, Jacky was one of the first celebrities to arrive at the Tuesday event, capturing attention with his bold style. He wore a long fur coat featuring a deep V-neck and an open back, showing off his physique. His look was completed with heavy makeup and curled hair styled in a traditionally feminine fashion.

On the red carpet, Jacky let one side of his coat slip, partially exposing his chest. This moment quickly went viral on social media, with keywords related to the actor generating hundreds of millions of views and sparking extensive discussions.

Most reactions suggested that Jacky’s outfit was overly feminine and even inappropriate for an event filled with renowned stars. Despite mixed reactions, his appearance made him the most talked-about celebrity at the event.

According to Sohu, Jacky may be transitioning toward a comedic persona, which could explain his choice of a daring and controversial outfit for such a high-profile event.

Jacky, 40, is the son of Charles Heung, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, and Tiffany Chen, a film producer.

His father Charles, 76, founded Win’s Entertainment in the 1980s and later China Star Entertainment, a significant Hong Kong-listed production company that played a key role in the rise of Hong Kong cinema icons like Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, and Johnnie To, according to Variety.

QQ reported that Jacky received considerable support when he entered the entertainment industry, allowing him to collaborate early on with A-list stars such as Jet Li, Tony Leung, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Angelababy, and Louis Koo.

He has appeared in popular films like "From Vegas to Macau 3," "Investiture of the Gods," "Call of Heroes," "The Warlords," and "Huo Yuanjia." However, despite these roles, his acting career has yet to reach significant acclaim.

Jacky once described himself as "useless," gaining more attention for his romance with model and actress Bea Hayden—whom he met on a reality TV show and married in September 2019—than for his career.
